My fiancee bought me a trilogy and said that she thought it was cool that it also came with the old movie that is what based off of.

When I asked her what it was, she was shocked, and said that she would not give it to me until I figured it out because she was embarrassed that I did not know this (she is a self-proclaimed movie buff).

My mind is drawing a blank.

The most popular trilogy I can think of that's based on an old movie is the Ocean's trilogy.

Let us know what she was talking about.

That makes sense, but I wouldn't exactly be thrilled if someone gave me the Ocean's movies.

What you'll get here are the 2-disc limited editions of the original trilogy in a handy-dandy box. What are the limited editions? Two disc packages that contain the recent special editions and a "bonus disc" for each film that contains the respective originals. And by originals, I mean the complete un-altered films the way audiences saw them back in 1977, 1980 and 1983. Even the added-in-'81 "A New Hope" in the title crawl of the first film is no longer there. It is simply STAR WARS. Simply put: these are the versions audiences (who were born before the 90s) fell in love with. These are the versions that made Star Wars a phenomenon. The versions that are worth a damn. Does anyone seriously know ANYBODY who prefers the special editions to the originals?

Think of it this way. You get to see Sinatra and Dean and the boys back when they were fricking all the big A list starlets like Ava Gardiner and Rita Hayworth.

The original is fairly average. It's one of those rare movies that I like the remake better.

i still says is SW..see my post above. both are in stores and both have the 'original' editions with them.

eta and by 'original' i mean the pre-george-cgi-enhanced versions of Ep IV, V & VI..not the new movies.

I really had no idea they released the unaltered Star Wars trilogy.

Now I can finally forget about Greedo shooting first and Jabba's waaay too early appearance and not to mention all the overused CGI bullshite
